SNIPPET: "The US targeted a senior al Qaeda leader and brother-in-law of Osama bin Laden during Thursday's swarm attack in Pakistan's Taliban-controlled tribal agency of North Waziristan.

The US believed Sheikh Saeed al Saudi was scheduled to attend a high-level al Qaeda meeting in the Datta Khel region in North Waziristan, The News reported."

SNIPPET: "Sheikh Saeed al Saudi is married to bin Laden's sister and serves on al Qaeda's Shura Majlis, or executive council, a senior US intelligence official told The Long War Journal. The official also confirmed that al Saudi was the target of the attack. Al Saudi also is involved in al Qaeda's "financial activities," the official said."

SNIPPET: "Al Saudi is thought to have survived the strike, but the US believes it killed Zuhaib al Zahibi, a general officer in al Qaeda's Shadow Army, or the Lashkar al Zil."

Pursue and harrass everything connected to Usama Bin and his and we will find him or his grave in time.

Obviously there is no continuous fresh pursuit, but pursue indeed until all those dots are connected.

Yep.

If Osama is still alive why are we not targeting him?

I think the answer is that even if he is dead, he is still useful, to our government, as long as our government doesn’t acknowledge the fact to the public.

Let’s not do OBL any favors. I had a brother-in-law I would have targeted with a Predator.
